Did they give you a patch to put behind your ear for the nausea? I think you went home to early just gets lots of rest it will pass.

I know its hard when you have the nausea, I've been battling it myself. Can you get an rx called in by your doc for the anti nausea drug Zofran? It works quickly & comes as a dissolvable little pill. As far as the Prilosec goes I was told to look for capsules that you can open and sprinkle in a drink. Good luck, keep drinking & walking.

Thanks, yes I got Zofran and didn't think about opening up the prilosec. Good tips.

with prilosec you are surposed to open the capsule pour it in Water or on your tongue and then drink Water. That is how my doctor and pharmacist told me to take them.

I was given dissolvable Prevacid. I was in the hospital for 2 nights and they have me anti nausea meds in the hospital. It was gone by the time I was ready to go home. Keep a pillow handy!! When you have to cough or hiccup or sneeze, squeeze the pillow against your stomach!! It helped sooooo much!!!! Good luck with your recovery and lifelong journey!!! I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and it gets better and easier!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
